Beginner Level - These camps are designed for the first time student. We will cover the Introduction to Sewing Course on the first day of class which covers classroom safety tips, how the sewing machine works, how to begin stitching, basic sewing notions and how to start working with patterns.
Intermediate - These camps are for students that have already taken at least one beginner level class. We will start our projects on the first day. Students must be able to sew straight and curved seams with fairly good accuracy. Students should have patience to begin pinning and cutting fabric and be willing to follow patterns with assistance.
Advanced– Students must be able to use their sewing machine with minimal assistance, sew accurate straight and curved seams. Students should have patience to work more independently, be creative, pin and cut fabric, follow patterns with assistance, make items that take longer to complete and spend more time focusing on details.
